    Anyone else sick of prince arthur and his excuses

    I think he's a talented guy but when people say (like the article BPP posted) he's "waiting" why doesn't anyone address the fact that he's protected in germany from the best mws here in the U.S. If he's "waiting" then it's his own fault for not trying to come here to fight the best. Beating Miranda who Kelly destroyed isn't exactly proving anything but I understand it was needed. Now instead of "waiting" prince arthur should man up and fight here exclusively. But I'm sure he and his promoters would rather hide in their european stronghold from the real challenges.

    Who are these best middleweights?

    Pavlik, who he has been trying his hardest to get a fight with?
    Wright, who just got shut out by Paul Williams after a 21 month layoff?
    Sturm, who isn't American, and doesn't want to fight Abraham?
    Williams, who is trying his hardest to get a fight with Sergei D right now?

    I mean, really... who exactly has he been ducking? He's been ****ing undefeated or one loss prospect/contenders, which is about as good as he can do, because the top level won't fight him.

      Beating Miranda at his home turf was an excellent win. Most yanks on this very board picked pantera who was highly touted at the time. His stock only plummeted because of the licking he got from Abraham.

      Why should he leave for the US and fight there exclusively when he makes millions of euros fighting in Germany? It's not like america has any MW worth mentioning besides Pavlik.

        But why is he still hiding in europe when the mw champ is here? If he fought here exclusively he'd have a better chance to fight Kelly rather than his handlers trying to get everyone to come to germany to fight him.

            prince arthur has the same hype that Hatton had when he fought and beat everyone put in front of him on his home turf. It's time arthur proved himself here before ending up like another Ottke.

                Why does he need to come to america?

                From the looks of it,

                fighters draw pretty big crowds over there.

                When are we going to start demanding that american fighters start living up to the title of "world" champion?

                  Hopkins fought 1 time overseas 1 time and he's an obvious ATG. How many times did hypejob DLH fight overseas??? The point is they didn't have to because the best fighters are here. arthur needs to come here if he wants the best not hang out in berlin eating sauerkraut and waiting for more sacrifices to come to him.
